A sci-fi lacks any sense of science or logic

All stories create problems, let them develop and solve it finally. This particular movie, however, creates problems ONLY because it needs to show off. I totally understand the plot should serve the need of developing the characters, but I just couldn't withhold myself easily come up with 1000 ideas of solving the problem that seemed so difficult for our heroes. Also, the actors were emotionally detached so completely that I doubt sometimes if the script was read out but someone else -- maybe the reason is those people didn't buy their own story.
We need an example of why the story, as declared to be a sci-fi one, is unconvincing.
According to the setting, the technical development is so high that neural signals could be fused at conscious level, but a robot needs you to sit in to control it, which is the crucial issue of the whole plot -- had the scientific director heard of remotely controlled drones (belonging to our own age, if you read ABC/NYT/BBC etc.)?
OK, if people think a manned cockpit is cool, why, on earth, need the pilots run on a treadmill to drive it?! Does anyone drive a car by cycling or sail a boat by twisting feet? It is indeed a detail, but the treadmill is really ridiculing -- why they don't use a watermill to drive the robot ? ...
